We're still excited to see what Ten Hag can do. After seeing the state of the same old faces against Brighton, maybe just maybe he can take a different approach, play some of the younger faces and show us something promising.I find myself looking forward to this game, and I have no idea why.
Maguire was more than alright vs BrightonResounding victory today, 4-1 United. Rashford double, Bruno and Ronaldo pen.
Hope to see Martinez and Varane paired today, Maguire just hasnt recovered from last season.
Physicality is one of our biggest problems. Expect McMayonaise to start.Brighton generally outplay us in fairness. Even in wins, like with the stoppage time VAR peno, they absolutely battered us. Brentford we just need to match physically, their whole game is about aggression and direct football - we just need to keep the ball and use the weather to fatigue them.
He is still a massive problem tactically speaking, we are accommodating a very slow player (who isn't even that good anyway) whilst trying to play a high line.Maguire was more than alright vs Brighton
Yeah they'll batter us losing 0-3 just like last seasonJust a feeling we will respond after last week and Thomas Frank to cry post-match the bitter prick.
Fred has also posted his shirt, so maybe another one.Apparently Bruno doing pre-match chat, so there's one of your starters.
Which is true, but also shows that we go into games with fear. Which is a sad state of affairs.Fred has also posted his shirt, so maybe another one.
To me, Eriksen has to start, but I worry about the lack of height with Bruno, Fred, and Eriksen, especially with Martinez at the back.
Blindly trusting in youth is equally as damaging as playing Mcfred. Our shambles of a board should have gotten in two capable midfielders after letting go of Pogba and Matic. Simple as that.Hope ETH has balls to drop mcfred and start either of garner or zidan. We need to start trusting youth over mcfred , at least until rabiot or FDJ arrives
Wrong. Trusting the youth players can pay off, by them getting experience and becoming better.Blindly trusting in youth is equally as damaging as playing Mcfred. Our shambles of a board should have gotten in two capable midfielders after letting go of Pogba and Matic. Simple as that.
His centre back and leadership performance was 5 out of 10 at an absolute push.He’s not gonna drop Maguire he was one of our better players. Guaranteed starter.
I'd agree with this. McFred is a known and tired duo.Wrong. Trusting the youth players can pay off, by them getting experience and becoming better.
McFred is a lose lose situation.
I wouldn't say that. It just means we go into games mindful of other teams. Sir Alex used to change his team all the time when he wanted to try and stop, or at least, lessen the threat of the opposition.Which is true, but also shows that we go into games with fear. Which is a sad state of affairs.
He had a good squad though, we are still full of holes.I wouldn't say that. It just means we go into games mindful of other teams. Sir Alex used to change his team all the time when he wanted to try and stop, or at least, lessen the threat of the opposition.
Jesse was the man of the people. The people just didn't know what they hadWhere are the leaks when you need them?
did it take him the usual 15 minutes to do his 47-point turn?Just saw on ManUtd app team entering their dressing room. All of them turn to their right open the door...except Maguire, he wants to go left. Completely lost that guy.
Martinez was good…!? Is he injured?I'd bring Lindelof or Varane back in for Martinez for this. Expecting another defeat.
check PMWhere can one find streams these days? I fancy a dip today.
I’m not leaking anything until De Jong signs.Any leaks?
It should be just another match, but this is in fact a crucial match for us that we must win.I have the feeling this game will be very important for how our season turns out.
Lose here and it can spiral out of control.
Win here and the tone is set we are somewhat capable.
We are also talking about a manager that was in total control of his team during the majority of our lives as fans. By that I mean that SAF was the one that brought and developed 95% of any teams that he had between 1990 to 2013, one or two players could have question marks but the rest were known quantities for him. Here ETH and most managers need to learn about their own players, understand what they can and can't do in relation to his own instructions and preferences.He had a good squad though, we are still full of holes.
